- 0:42Speaker 1: the boat to explore expansion with only Seattle and Las Vegas.
- 0:48Speaker 1: More on that in a moment. I also want to
- 0:50Speaker 1: let you know Tulala Prasort Casino is there for you.

- 0:55Speaker 1: DraftKings sports Book last week with the NCAA tournament. Maybe
- 0:58Speaker 1: it didn't do so well, maybe you didn't very well,
- 1:01Speaker 1: and you want to follow up on that, well, guess what,

- 1:10Speaker 1: and then again into Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Why wouldn't
- 1:13Speaker 1: you go.
- 1:13Speaker 4: To Tililap Resort casino. For that, I have no idea.
- 1:16Speaker 4: I mean just I guess ignorance would be my only
- 1:20Speaker 4: explanation for it.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Do you hate yourself?
- 1:22Speaker 2: Five Iron spent all day Friday up there with a
- 1:23Speaker 2: whole group of people.
- 1:24Speaker 5: That right, really yeah that Friday Thursday even.
- 1:28Speaker 6: Nice we came.
- 1:29Speaker 3: When we were there, they had.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Like twenty guys up there, and they all went up
- 1:32Speaker 2: and spent all day day.
- 1:34Speaker 3: So you just planned it around a time when we
- 1:36Speaker 3: weren't going to be there.
- 1:37Speaker 5: I told him, you guys were originally gonna be there Friday.
- 1:39Speaker 5: He was going to go Thursday then, and then I
- 1:41Speaker 5: said no, they got moved to Thursday.
- 1:42Speaker 2: He's like, oh Friday, sunny job.
- 1:44Speaker 1: I appreciate it on two levels. Number one that he
- 1:46Speaker 1: did it, and then number two that he had the
- 1:48Speaker 1: strategy to avoid us. Yeah, good job.
- 1:50Speaker 2: He's the brains of our operation.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Smart dude.
- 1:52Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Anyway, our coverage of March Madness so will continue, of
- 1:56Speaker 1: course right here at Sports Radio ninety three point three
- 1:58Speaker 1: kh A RFM and is brought to you by Twin Peaks,
- 2:01Speaker 1: Dave Smith Motors and w S. E. CU will be
- 2:05Speaker 1: back on with games tomorrow at four o'clock, which will
- 2:08Speaker 1: preempt one of your favorite radio shows that you have
- 2:11Speaker 1: going for you and joining us now is the host
- 2:14Speaker 1: of that very radio show. It is the soft One himself,
- 2:18Speaker 1: David Maler. I don't think that we could have got
- 2:20Speaker 1: through the morning without hearing the reaction to today's NBA
- 2:24Speaker 1: news from the soft One himself.
- 2:26Speaker 8: What say you, Dave got magic carpet Ride? Boys and girls,
- 2:39Speaker 8: get on the magic carpet and ride. It is definitely
- 2:43Speaker 8: talk time, go go.
- 2:50Speaker 3: So you're excited at all?
- 2:54Speaker 1: I love it.
- 2:54Speaker 7: Listen, man, listen. We've been waiting to hear this for
- 2:58Speaker 7: eighteen damn years. The last Sonic game I went to
- 3:01Speaker 7: was in two thousand and eight. I was there with
- 3:03Speaker 7: my dad. I'm sure a lot of people tuning in
- 3:05Speaker 7: right now remember that Maverick game. Kevin Durant egging on
- 3:08Speaker 7: the crowd. He became a legend that day in my mind,
- 3:12Speaker 7: right in front of Clay Bennett, who was actually too
- 3:15Speaker 7: spineless to sit on the court, so he was up
- 3:18Speaker 7: in his suite, big court, whole crowd channing save our Sonics.
- 3:22Speaker 7: Kevin Durant throwing his hands in the air, egging the
- 3:25Speaker 7: crowd on. Is a rookie to have that kind of
- 3:27Speaker 7: juice at nineteen twenty years old, to do something like
- 3:30Speaker 7: that as a rookie in front of his owner made
- 3:33Speaker 7: him a legend for life. In my opinion, it was
- 3:35Speaker 7: eighteen years ago. And how many people have been robbed
- 3:38Speaker 7: of moments like that in the last two decades. How
- 3:41Speaker 7: many fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, aunts and uncles,
- 3:45Speaker 7: brothers and sisters, best friends have been robbed of an
- 3:49Speaker 7: opportunity to go to an NBA game in Seattle and
- 3:52Speaker 7: watch the Sonics play. I don't blame you for being pissed.
- 3:55Speaker 7: I heard you talking about all the reaction you're getting
- 3:57Speaker 7: on the text line. Some people are bit some people
- 4:00Speaker 7: are angry, some people are skeptical, some people are excited.
- 4:04Speaker 7: I don't blame anybody for any emotion that they have
- 4:08Speaker 7: regarding this thing and how they want to deal with
- 4:10Speaker 7: the last twenty years. All I'll say is this that
- 4:13Speaker 7: I study yesterday, and I'll.
- 4:14Speaker 3: Say it again.
- 4:15Speaker 7: I just want our town to have the goddamn option
- 4:19Speaker 7: of going to an NBA basketball game, to have the
- 4:21Speaker 7: option again of seeing the Sonics play. Whether you want
- 4:24Speaker 7: to go, whether you don't want to go, that's entirely
- 4:27Speaker 7: up to you. But the point is this town is
- 4:29Speaker 7: too big, our history is too rich, and the DNA
- 4:34Speaker 7: is not complete sports wise in this town without having
- 4:37Speaker 7: NBA basketball and the Seattle SuperSonics back in the mix.
- 4:41Speaker 7: So I am absolutely being thrilled about this news that
- 4:46Speaker 7: came out today. I was actually kind of secretly, guys
- 4:49Speaker 7: hoping that maybe it would be a surprise at the
- 4:51Speaker 7: press conference, that maybe we would get Adam Silver to
- 4:54Speaker 7: tell us exactly what's happening and the word would not leak.
- 4:58Speaker 7: But it's twenty twenty six and that kind of stuff
- 5:01Speaker 7: doesn't happen anymore. Man. So look, I'm logging onto simply Seattle.
- 5:05Speaker 7: I'm buying new Sonic gear. I'm going through the closet.
- 5:08Speaker 7: I'm seeing what fits, what doesn't fit. I'm going through
- 5:11Speaker 7: my rollerdecks, trying to hook up with a bunch of
- 5:14Speaker 7: ex players. Just got off the phone with olden Polonies,
- 5:17Speaker 7: by the way, Percy Hawkins, Vinnie Ascue, Steve Scheffler. Last
- 5:22Speaker 7: time I saw Steve Scheffler, he was asleep in a
- 5:24Speaker 7: massage chair at the Intaquas Costco taking a nap. That's
- 5:28Speaker 7: how long it's been since I've fought to him. But
- 5:30Speaker 7: I cannot wait to get on the air today at
- 5:32Speaker 7: three o'clock this afternoon, and I'm just so excited. Man.
- 5:35Speaker 7: I'm fired up for the town, I'm fired up for us,
- 5:38Speaker 7: and you know what, I'm freaking fired up for me.
- 5:41Speaker 7: I'm fired up for me because we deserve this. Man.
- 5:44Speaker 7: There's no city in America who has lost the professional
- 5:47Speaker 7: team and has been this passionate about bringing them back
- 5:51Speaker 7: eighteen years later. Not Kansas City when they lost the Kings,
- 5:55Speaker 7: not Montreal when they lost the Expos. Nobody, nobody has
- 5:59Speaker 7: been this for this long about the return of a
- 6:03Speaker 7: professional basketball team. And we fricking deserve this, man, I
- 6:06Speaker 7: don't mind saying that, we absolutely do.
- 6:09Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I'm with you, man, and I can I
- 6:11Speaker 4: can hear the passion. So there's no I mean, yeah,
- 6:15Speaker 4: just a little bit.
- 6:16Speaker 3: I mean I thought that.
- 6:18Speaker 4: I mean the idea of now, I mean, you know,
- 6:21Speaker 4: the people at least in one ownership group that's going
- 6:25Speaker 4: to throw their hat in the ring. I mean, you know,
- 6:27Speaker 4: to the lol wiki's and that whole group, the oak
- 6:30Speaker 4: View group and and and all of them, and so, uh,
- 6:34Speaker 4: what's your thoughts there?
- 6:35Speaker 3: Are you gonna be uh reaching out to them to.
- 6:38Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 6:38Speaker 4: I mean, I'll put five bucks in on it if
- 6:40Speaker 4: that'll help done.
- 6:42Speaker 7: Hey man, you know what we can do it gofund
- 6:44Speaker 7: me whatever it takes to get this thing done. But yeah,
- 6:47Speaker 7: we're gonna have toot on today. He'll join us, I
- 6:49Speaker 7: think at three o'clock this afternoon. And you know, Bucky,
- 6:52Speaker 7: it's funny that you mentioned that about you know, maybe like, hey,
- 6:54Speaker 7: you know other groups getting involved. You know, people remember
- 6:57Speaker 7: back in the day, and actually, I know you got
- 7:00Speaker 7: had a great relationship for a long time with Fred
- 7:02Speaker 7: Brown's family and grew up on Mercer Island and Freddie
- 7:06Speaker 7: was a big part of my life as a kid.
- 7:07Speaker 7: I mean, you know, going to the JCC and Wally
- 7:11Speaker 7: and you know, Jack and Fred and Gus and Denny
- 7:15Speaker 7: our DJ excuse me would all work out there back
- 7:17Speaker 7: in the day when players would just mingle with the
- 7:20Speaker 7: general public. In those days are kind of over. But
- 7:22Speaker 7: Fred Brown's tried to build an arena. He wanted to
- 7:24Speaker 7: build an armadillo looking egg on the port on the
- 7:29Speaker 7: pier to bring the NBA back to town. And you know,
- 7:31Speaker 7: people kind of laughed at him, man, but you know what,
- 7:34Speaker 7: all those guys deserve pats on the butts, every single one.
- 7:37Speaker 7: Chris Hansen, Fred Brown, Wally Walker, anybody who lifted a
- 7:41Speaker 7: finger to try and attempt to get this thing done
- 7:45Speaker 7: and the right or wrong deserves a pad on the butt,
- 7:47Speaker 7: no matter how stupid, no matter how landish, no matter
- 7:51Speaker 7: how ludicrous it sounded. Anybody who got off their ass,
- 7:55Speaker 7: and I'll mention Chris Hansen, Man, that guy deserves a
- 7:57Speaker 7: big pat on the butt. Anybody who got off off
- 8:00Speaker 7: their ass to make this thing happen and to get
- 8:02Speaker 7: the ball rolling deserves some kudos. But Bucky, I gotta
- 8:06Speaker 7: tell you, I don't know if I want anybody involved.
- 8:09Speaker 7: Todd Lwiki is absolutely the grand Poobah of Seattle sports.
- 8:14Speaker 7: I mean, look look at what the guy did for
- 8:16Speaker 7: the Seahawks hiring Pete Carroll, look at what the guy
- 8:19Speaker 7: has done for the arena for the Kraken, and out
- 8:22Speaker 7: look what him and his brother Tim are about to
- 8:23Speaker 7: do for the NBA. So I want it to be them.
- 8:27Speaker 7: I want it to be Climate Flede Arena. I want
- 8:29Speaker 7: it to be like Wiki and Cement, the Holloway and
- 8:33Speaker 7: the entire group over there with the new one roof foundation.
- 8:36Speaker 7: I want it to be them because they deserve it.
- 8:39Speaker 7: They're the ones that stepped up and built the arena.
- 8:42Speaker 7: They're the ones that paid for the arena when the
- 8:44Speaker 7: city government wouldn't hand over a penny to get this
- 8:47Speaker 7: thing back. And by the way, I find it laughable
- 8:50Speaker 7: at every politician now that's trying to jump on the
- 8:53Speaker 7: wagon and take some credit for this. Why don't you
- 8:56Speaker 7: guys shut the hell up, sit it out, and let
- 8:59Speaker 7: the people charge get this thing done. It makes me
- 9:02Speaker 7: sick how many politicians are trying to take credit for
- 9:04Speaker 7: this and glob onto this thing. So God, I want
- 9:08Speaker 7: it to be that group because they're the ones that
- 9:10Speaker 7: go to the arenas. They're the ones that have been waiting,
- 9:13Speaker 7: they're the ones that have the money. They're the ones
- 9:15Speaker 7: that have been working their butts off to make it happen.
- 9:17Speaker 7: And at this point it should be them.
- 9:19Speaker 1: I love that it's not just pats on the backs.
- 9:21Speaker 1: A little more personal from Saftie. They deserve pats on
- 9:24Speaker 1: the bucks.
- 9:25Speaker 7: Watch the whole thing, man, whatever you want, whatever you
- 9:28Speaker 7: want to off limits today.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Pal Softie with us here this morning, reacting to the
- 9:35Speaker 1: news that the NBA Board of Governors has in fact
- 9:37Speaker 1: approved the expansion pursuits of Seattle and Las Vegas to
- 9:43Speaker 1: try to get franchises back in the National Basketball Association.
- 9:47Speaker 1: And I've heard your promo. I'm I'm with you. I
- 9:50Speaker 1: think it's a done deal, and yet we're not at
- 9:53Speaker 1: the finish line. So how do you how do you
- 9:56Speaker 1: resign yourself to that as a sports talk show host
- 10:00Speaker 1: over the next couple of months, believing that this is
- 10:03Speaker 1: done and yet knowing that it's not.
- 10:06Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm just I'm just not concerned about it, guys.
- 10:09Speaker 7: I mean, I know maybe I should be. And look,
- 10:12Speaker 7: you know, technically, it ain't done until it's done. And
- 10:15Speaker 7: we all get that. We all understand that we waited
- 10:17Speaker 7: eighteen years. We can wait another four or five months,
- 10:20Speaker 7: right for this thing officially to get done. But guys,
- 10:23Speaker 7: I gotta be honest with you that that arena was
- 10:27Speaker 7: not built. As much as we love the crack in,
- 10:29Speaker 7: as much as we love the shows and the concerts
- 10:31Speaker 7: and everything happening the NCAA tournament, that arena was built
- 10:36Speaker 7: with the NBA in mind, all right, I mean it's
- 10:39Speaker 7: NBA ready to day. You guys know that the locker rooms,
- 10:42Speaker 7: the loading docks, everything was done with the NBA. In mind,
- 10:46Speaker 7: everything was done to get to this point today and
- 10:48Speaker 7: then rubber stamp this thing hopefully later this summer, if
- 10:52Speaker 7: not early fall. So I'm not that concerned about it.
- 10:55Speaker 7: I mean, look, obviously there's you know, unforeseen things that
- 10:59Speaker 7: can take place financially. People could potentially have to bow
- 11:03Speaker 7: out and you got to find someone new to step in.
- 11:06Speaker 7: But I also think that there's other options, you know,
- 11:09Speaker 7: of the you know, for investors to step up and
- 11:11Speaker 7: join the group that's been put together. I think there's
- 11:14Speaker 7: a list, honestly of people that would love to get
- 11:17Speaker 7: involved and be a part of this. So I'm not
- 11:20Speaker 7: that concerned about it. I've been telling people for the
- 11:22Speaker 7: last six to nine months that you should start saving
- 11:24Speaker 7: money for tickets. I mean, if you haven't been to
- 11:26Speaker 7: an NBA game in eighteen years, you're gonna be surprised
- 11:29Speaker 7: at how much tickets are. I mean, they're not cheap, man,
- 11:32Speaker 7: So I would I would start throwing a couple of
- 11:34Speaker 7: coins into a into a you know, piggybank or whatever
- 11:38Speaker 7: you got there, and start saving some money, start getting
- 11:41Speaker 7: your sonic gear from places like simply Seattle, and get ready.
- 11:44Speaker 7: Because I feel very confident and I feel very comfortable
- 11:47Speaker 7: telling people this is happening. And you know what, if
- 11:50Speaker 7: it doesn't for some reason, Chuck, if disaster strikes, there's
- 11:54Speaker 7: no town in America that's more prepared to deal with
- 11:56Speaker 7: that heartbreak than we are. Okay, so I'm not I'm
- 11:59Speaker 7: not focusing on that at all.
- 12:01Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, Well, hopefully we don't have to test our
- 12:04Speaker 4: resiliency in that front.
- 12:05Speaker 6: Again.
- 12:06Speaker 3: I mean, this is I mean, it's if it does go.
- 12:09Speaker 4: Through later on this summer, whenever they figure out the
- 12:13Speaker 4: you know how much they like Todd Lewickian group and
- 12:16Speaker 4: the cording that they do, and this thing goes through,
- 12:18Speaker 4: I mean, are you about as pumped for twenty twenty six?
- 12:21Speaker 4: I mean you started it off with a Super Bowl.
- 12:24Speaker 4: Is twenty twenty six going to be the greatest year
- 12:26Speaker 4: in softy sports life?
- 12:28Speaker 3: Wow?
- 12:29Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll go ask your buddies at T Mobile Park,
- 12:33Speaker 7: all right, Yeah, I mean tell them to finish the
- 12:35Speaker 7: damn job for God's sake. Okay, Right, that's next on
- 12:39Speaker 7: the radar. I mean, the Sonics are we think on
- 12:42Speaker 7: the way home and we're still kind of tapping our fingers,
- 12:45Speaker 7: you know, waiting for the boys in Blue or to
- 12:47Speaker 7: get us to a World Series for the first time
- 12:49Speaker 7: in our life. And you know, honestly, guys, I think
- 12:52Speaker 7: it makes it even more special when you lose something
- 12:56Speaker 7: like this and then you get it back. That's an
- 12:59Speaker 7: emotion that a lot of sports fans just simply put
- 13:02Speaker 7: don't get to experience. Like, you know, what was it
- 13:05Speaker 7: like in Cleveland when they lost the Browns and got
- 13:08Speaker 7: them back. What was it like in Baltimore when they
- 13:10Speaker 7: lost the Colts and then got the Ravens and got
- 13:13Speaker 7: the NFL back? In Houston when they lost the Oilers
- 13:15Speaker 7: and then got the Texans. I mean, we're gonna get
- 13:18Speaker 7: to And I think there's a positive to that that
- 13:21Speaker 7: it just puts you in a situation where you want
- 13:24Speaker 7: to remind everybody. The day they officially announced this, Bucky
- 13:28Speaker 7: that the Sonics are coming back. Can we just not
- 13:31Speaker 7: do this again? Please? If you have an NBA franchise
- 13:35Speaker 7: and you have a baseball team and a football team
- 13:37Speaker 7: and a hockey team, there's cities all over the country
- 13:41Speaker 7: that would get on their hands and knees to have
- 13:44Speaker 7: something like that, And we need to realize how special
- 13:47Speaker 7: these things are. And I don't think that people like
- 13:49Speaker 7: Greg Nichols back in the day, Frank Chop back in
- 13:52Speaker 7: the day. May he rest in peace, but I'm still
- 13:54Speaker 7: pissed off at him. I don't think those people realized
- 13:57Speaker 7: how special it was to have one of thirty professional
- 14:01Speaker 7: basketball franchises at this level. So I really really hope
- 14:05Speaker 7: that we as a community when this happens and they
- 14:07Speaker 7: come back to just promise that the next generation will
- 14:11Speaker 7: never have to go through the craps that we went through.
- 14:14Speaker 7: So let's not do this again.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Huh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm with you, Softy, with us
- 14:18Speaker 1: here on the radio program. So what are you gonna
- 14:21Speaker 1: wear to celebrate on your big show at Queen Anne
- 14:23Speaker 1: Beer All today? A were gonna pack out a moutely nothing, just.
- 14:29Speaker 7: Nothing nothing. Wow, there's there's moments in life, Buck and
- 14:34Speaker 7: Chuck that call for us. I think a three pm
- 14:37Speaker 7: Queen Anne Beer Hall, you want to see it naked, saftie.
- 14:40Speaker 7: I would be there at the bar.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Is a total nudity occasionally vomited.
- 14:45Speaker 7: No, dude, I've got I've got jerseys. You know.
- 14:48Speaker 6: Here's the thing.
- 14:48Speaker 7: Michael Cage.
- 14:49Speaker 1: You got a Michael Cage jersey somewhere.
- 14:52Speaker 7: I don't have a Michael cage jersey. I got a Peyton,
- 14:54Speaker 7: I got a camp I got a shrimp. What else
- 14:58Speaker 7: do I have? I think I have a Hawkins and
- 14:59Speaker 7: there somewhere. I got a lot of jerseys, man, a
- 15:02Speaker 7: lot of them. But I'm not a big jersey guy anymore.
- 15:04Speaker 7: And that's fine. I mean, I got three years old. Yes,
- 15:08Speaker 7: what shirts do you fllovers? I'm more about comfort over
- 15:12Speaker 7: style at my age. To be honest with you, I'd
- 15:14Speaker 7: wear a green and gold garbage bag if it was comfortable.
- 15:17Speaker 7: So yeah, we're gonna be decked out and sonic gear today.
- 15:20Speaker 7: Ian's gonna be there at one at the beer hall,

- 15:27Speaker 7: it's gonna be just chaos. You know. People be jumping
- 15:31Speaker 7: on the phone right and left, saying hello and sharing
- 15:33Speaker 7: their thoughts on this. But it's kind of weird because
- 15:36Speaker 7: it's like it's like you have this dream of going
- 15:38Speaker 7: to Disneyland right as a kid, and I feel like
- 15:42Speaker 7: mom and Dad just parked the car and now we're
- 15:44Speaker 7: walking to the front door to buy a ticket, like
- 15:47Speaker 7: we're not quite there yet, but damn, do we feel
- 15:51Speaker 7: pretty comfortable that it's okay to start tracking a smile
- 15:54Speaker 7: because we are well on our way.
- 15:56Speaker 1: Well all right, well, I'm glad that you're soul pumped
- 15:59Speaker 1: for it. I gonna say congratulations. I know we're not there,

- 16:11Speaker 1: broadcast out there today. And man, how about we chug

- 16:22Speaker 7: guy buy? Is it so far? You're the new guys?
- 16:24Speaker 6: So what the hell?
- 16:26Speaker 7: Look, man, I mean, I just this is exactly why
- 16:29Speaker 7: we do this right on this radio station, you know,
- 16:32Speaker 7: for moments like this, I mean the rallies that we
- 16:34Speaker 7: had at the Courthouse Occidental Park that Chris Hansen organized
- 16:39Speaker 7: back in the day. The amount of people that have
- 16:41Speaker 7: hung on to this dream and hung on to their
- 16:43Speaker 7: Sonic Memorabiley, and hung on to their you know jerseys
- 16:47Speaker 7: and hats and sweatshirts and you know trading cards that
- 16:50Speaker 7: the you know, King County Police Department used to pass
- 16:53Speaker 7: out back in the day. How many people like us
- 16:55Speaker 7: in our forties and fifties have been hanging on to
- 16:58Speaker 7: this dream for the last eighteen year, and to see
- 17:00Speaker 7: it realized it's overwhelming, man, it really is overwhelming. And
- 17:05Speaker 7: the fact that we're going to actually probably do this
- 17:08Speaker 7: is I think a testament to every sports fan in
- 17:10Speaker 7: this town, because I don't think this happens without them.
- 17:12Speaker 7: I honestly don't. I know there's a financial incentive here,
- 17:16Speaker 7: It's an investment opportunity for a lot of people that
- 17:18Speaker 7: have a lot more money than we do. But the
- 17:21Speaker 7: I mean you mentioned the infectious enthusiasm that comes from
- 17:24Speaker 7: the fan base, and I mean it when I tell you, Chuck,
- 17:26Speaker 7: I don't know of any other city in America, North America,
- 17:30Speaker 7: Canada that has hung onto this dream for as long
- 17:33Speaker 7: as we have and not let this go. I know
- 17:35Speaker 7: I've mentioned simply Seattle a couple of times. Jamie Munson,
- 17:38Speaker 7: the owner, I was talking to him the other day.
- 17:40Speaker 7: His entire business was built on the backs of Sonics fans. Actually,
- 17:46Speaker 7: he created this sports empire because of the dream of
- 17:51Speaker 7: getting this basketball team back.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Man.
- 17:53Speaker 7: So it's pretty amazing how this fan base has hung
- 17:56Speaker 7: in there and now they're about to be freaking repaid.
- 17:59Speaker 1: You're the man, Thank you very much. Have a great
- 18:01Speaker 1: show today, I boy and Girl. Yes, David Softy Mallet
- 18:05Speaker 1: joining us here on the radio program, and so leeah.
- 18:09Speaker 1: I mean look, I mean everybody's gonna have different reactions
- 18:12Speaker 1: to it. It's a little bit of an odd thing
- 18:14Speaker 1: to react to, and you are entitled to whatever your
- 18:17Speaker 1: reaction is. But whatever you do, please don't doubt that
- 18:20Speaker 1: flame that I just heard.
- 18:21Speaker 2: No, no, well, don't tulls anyone.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Yeah, let him. Let that sonic fan that has been
- 18:28Speaker 1: waiting for this for eighteen years, and even though they
- 18:31Speaker 1: feel just as jilted and angry as you do about
- 18:35Speaker 1: having this taken away from them in their lifetime, that
- 18:40Speaker 1: person exists out there that is treating this as I've
- 18:44Speaker 1: been waiting for this. I have shed tears over this
- 18:46Speaker 1: as a grown ass man, and here I am, eighteen
- 18:50Speaker 1: years later, ready to celebrate. I think they're back and
- 18:54Speaker 1: I can't wait to go through the process of getting
- 18:57Speaker 1: them back these last few stages. So just don't don't
- 19:01Speaker 1: blow out that guy's candle.
- 19:03Speaker 6: Please.
- 19:04Speaker 1: You know, however you feel about it is your space,
- 19:07Speaker 1: But don't blow out that guy's candle because I love
- 19:09Speaker 1: hearing that.
- 19:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I do too.
- 19:11Speaker 4: And yet there's people that are going to try to
- 19:13Speaker 4: just tell somebody, I mean that they're wrong for being
- 19:16Speaker 4: as excited as they possibly are. I mean, I get
- 19:19Speaker 4: to some degree, actually said her stomach kind of fluttered obviously,
- 19:23Speaker 4: I think I don't even know what fluttered on Softy, everything,
- 19:27Speaker 4: everything fluttered on him. Mine became a little bit more like,
- 19:30Speaker 4: oh my god, we're over over that hurdle and now
- 19:33Speaker 4: just one more hurdle. Almost a little bit of anxiety
- 19:36Speaker 4: because of it. And yet I'm I'm pretty much in
- 19:39Speaker 4: the boat of I think it's going to happen, and
- 19:42Speaker 4: yet now it's just your one step away, one final step,
- 19:46Speaker 4: and it's going to take a minute for you know,
- 19:48Speaker 4: everybody to kind of get their bids in and for
- 19:51Speaker 4: the NBA to choose. But I'm feeling about as good
- 19:54Speaker 4: as possible, and yet now it's like being right on
- 19:56Speaker 4: the doorstep of it. It brings a little bit more
- 19:59Speaker 4: anxiety to I just love.
- 20:00Speaker 5: That he yelled I'm fired up for me, and I
- 20:05Speaker 5: was like, yeah, you should be.
- 20:08Speaker 2: Get it.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Yeah, he deserves a pat on the butt too, By
- 20:10Speaker 1: the way, he's got hard to get back and very vocal. Yeah,
- 20:13Speaker 1: we don't right gonna pat each other on the backs
- 20:15Speaker 1: for this thing. We're gonna pat each other on the butts.
- 20:17Speaker 1: You have to say good game after that. I hope
- 20:19Speaker 1: every understand, so you will get in trouble, all right,
- 20:22Speaker 1: joining us next on the program, And you know, there's
- 20:25Speaker 1: a thought that we just go all Sunics till the
- 20:27Speaker 1: end of the show here today, But we do have
- 20:29Speaker 1: Al Koniski on the radio program, and we now look like,
- 20:33Speaker 1: for the first time ever, are going to have basketball
- 20:36Speaker 1: and professional hockey in the town at the exact same time.
- 20:39Speaker 1: So I think I'd like to hear Al's perspective on that,
- 20:42Speaker 1: and we can talk about the Kraken uh and their
- 20:45Speaker 1: state of affairs as well, So we'll do that next
- 20:47Speaker 1: on Chucking Buck Sports Radio ninety three point three kjrfm.
- 20:54Speaker 9: Athers are in both fist der side tole h by mcbad.
- 20:58Speaker 9: He's on a break away macmads. Bobby McMahon ties the
- 21:07Speaker 9: game for Seattle four four free twenty two to play
- 21:13Speaker 9: in regulation. Back to back breakaways, back to back calls
- 21:18Speaker 9: for the Seattle.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Cracking, incredible comeback last night for the Kraken they were
- 21:28Speaker 1: down three nothing and then rallied in the third period
- 21:32Speaker 1: to tie the game at four apiece. That's your make
- 21:35Speaker 1: delivery of the game. Last night's top call from the
- 21:37Speaker 1: Kracking Audio Network, brought to you by McDonald's Ordering the
- 21:40Speaker 1: food you craved with mc delivery as a whole new
- 21:42Speaker 1: way to love McDonald's. Ordered directly from the McDonald's app
- 21:45Speaker 1: and select McDelivery today and start earning points for free food.
- 21:48Speaker 1: See app for details. Yes, Everett and OWL on the
- 21:51Speaker 1: call last night from Florida where it ended up being
- 21:55Speaker 1: a point for the Kracking. They sent it to overtime,
- 21:57Speaker 1: eventually a shootout where they didn't get two points. They
- 22:00Speaker 1: lost the game five to four, but nonetheless miraculously pulled
- 22:05Speaker 1: out a point by sending it into overtime. We'll certainly
- 22:08Speaker 1: talk to al about last night's game in the current
- 22:11Speaker 1: state of affairs for the Seattle Kraken, but we've also
- 22:13Speaker 1: had this big news in regards to the return of
- 22:17Speaker 1: the Seattle SuperSonics, our biggest step forward in that area
- 22:23Speaker 1: today as the NBA Board of Governors has approved the
- 22:26Speaker 1: expansion pursuits of Seattle and Las Vegas, and only Seattle
- 22:31Speaker 1: and Las Vegas, and by July we should know for
- 22:34Speaker 1: sure whether or not the Sonics are back. And I
- 22:37Speaker 1: think that's an interesting way to start our conversation because
- 22:41Speaker 1: here we've got our hockey guy on al Koniski every
- 22:44Speaker 1: week at this time, and yet we have never had
- 22:47Speaker 1: in the history of this city the Seattle Kraken and
- 22:50Speaker 1: the Seattle SuperSonics sharing the winter. So al, good morning
- 22:55Speaker 1: to you, first and foremost, good more than jugs to
- 23:00Speaker 1: have you on with us. And what do you think
- 23:02Speaker 1: about that? What do you think about a future of
- 23:04Speaker 1: the Kraken and the Sonics living in our world together?
- 23:09Speaker 10: Well, listen, I think it's great for the city.
- 23:11Speaker 6: First of all.
- 23:11Speaker 10: I think that what Sam Holloway has done with the
- 23:15Speaker 10: expansion of ownership of the CPA and creating a one
- 23:20Speaker 10: roof foundation sets them up really nicely to be the
- 23:24Speaker 10: home of this return of the Sonics. And I think
- 23:27Speaker 10: that a lot of our fans are going to want
- 23:29Speaker 10: to go to India Games as well, and vice versa.
- 23:32Speaker 10: So I think it's good for the city overall. It's
- 23:35Speaker 10: certainly great for ownership if that's the direction that they
- 23:39Speaker 10: end up going in.
- 23:41Speaker 6: But you know, I guess.
- 23:43Speaker 10: We'll know for sure in July, but usually they don't
- 23:45Speaker 10: have these meetings unless it's a pretty pretty for sure thing.
- 23:50Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously, I think that we're closer than we've ever been.
- 23:53Speaker 4: And yet there's not very many people that probably have
- 23:56Speaker 4: spent more time in Climate Pledge than you have. And
- 23:59Speaker 4: we've always heard and talk to Leiwiki and group about
- 24:03Speaker 4: how that place is already set up for it. I
- 24:06Speaker 4: mean that's you guys don't have to share locker rooms, right,
- 24:09Speaker 4: I mean they already got this bad boy set up
- 24:11Speaker 4: for the NBA, right, Yeah, it was built.
- 24:13Speaker 10: With NBA ready infrastructure, including the locker room, like you say, so,
- 24:18Speaker 10: it's it's just waiting for the team to come back.
- 24:20Speaker 10: And I think that makes it very attractive for the NBA.
- 24:25Speaker 10: And obviously that was the plan all along, was built
- 24:28Speaker 10: build a facility that could support both NHL Hockey and
- 24:32Speaker 10: NBA basketball. So it looks like it might become disrution.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Do we even have to hire a new play by
- 24:37Speaker 1: playing color analyst? Can you enavor it to handle this too?
- 24:42Speaker 10: Listen, I'd love to drop down from one hundred and
- 24:44Speaker 10: fifty feet in the air Collin hockey to courtside Collin
- 24:47Speaker 10: basketball I think we can absolutely do it and build
- 24:51Speaker 10: the socks off everybody listening.
- 24:53Speaker 1: Well, I at least want to want to hear what
- 24:55Speaker 1: it sounds like. You sold me that far. I'm not
- 24:58Speaker 1: sure you've sold me the disc, but you've sold me
- 25:01Speaker 1: that far.
- 25:01Speaker 10: Al Well, listen, We've had a chance to go see
- 25:06Speaker 10: some NBA games in the road a little bit, and
- 25:08Speaker 10: I can tell you the worst seats in the house
- 25:11Speaker 10: are right behind the NBA team because those guys are
- 25:14Speaker 10: big and most of the time they stand during the
- 25:17Speaker 10: entire game.
- 25:17Speaker 6: So you don't want to be, you know.
- 25:19Speaker 10: Right behind the team bench. You want to be a
- 25:20Speaker 10: few rows back.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Al Canisky with us color analyst for your Seattle Kraken
- 25:25Speaker 1: who lost last night five to four in a shootout,
- 25:28Speaker 1: but miraculously stole a point out of that al with
- 25:32Speaker 1: that furious comeback. How important might that be by season's end?
- 25:38Speaker 10: Well, I mean, listen, every point matters right now, and
- 25:40Speaker 10: you would have liked to have seen them grab two
- 25:42Speaker 10: last night, but you know you'll take You'll take one
- 25:45Speaker 10: rather than nothing. They're still five points out of that
- 25:48Speaker 10: second wildcard spot currently held by Nashville, and they got
- 25:51Speaker 10: to jump over La who's at seventy four points right now.
- 25:54Speaker 10: So these last three games two plus we come home
- 25:58Speaker 10: for a day and a half and then since the
- 26:00Speaker 10: third one, these last three games are not going to
- 26:02Speaker 10: be pushover games. You got Tampa Bay, then you got
- 26:05Speaker 10: Buffalo that are both at the top of their divisions,
- 26:07Speaker 10: and then you go up to Edmonton, which the Cracking
- 26:10Speaker 10: have always had a difficult time playing up there. But
- 26:13Speaker 10: you've got to find a way to squeak on as
- 26:15Speaker 10: many points as you can from there these three road
- 26:17Speaker 10: games to continue to be in the hunt for one
- 26:20Speaker 10: of those wild card spots.
- 26:22Speaker 4: I mean, now, the team yesterday I was eating dinner
- 26:25Speaker 4: with the fam and then I put it on mute,
- 26:27Speaker 4: but I could still kind of watch it out of
- 26:28Speaker 4: the corner of my eye. And I mean when they're
- 26:30Speaker 4: down four to one with five minutes and change, you're
- 26:33Speaker 4: just thinking, wow, here we go. And yet they went
- 26:36Speaker 4: on I mean just a tear to tie that thing
- 26:39Speaker 4: up and at least salvage a point out of it.
- 26:41Speaker 4: How big is that one point, even though we would
- 26:43Speaker 4: have loved to have gotten two.
- 26:46Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, you know, at the macro level, the
- 26:48Speaker 10: point is is really employant. But at the micro level,
- 26:52Speaker 10: how they got that point coming back late in the game.
- 26:55Speaker 6: Listen, it wasn't a great start to the game.
- 26:56Speaker 10: They you know, they went down three to one, and
- 26:59Speaker 10: when the when Florida went up fourd to one, you thought, Okay,
- 27:02Speaker 10: this is not going to be the Krackings night. But
- 27:04Speaker 10: when they started that comeback first with the Riker Evans goal,
- 27:08Speaker 10: and then you see Maddy Vanier score that, you see
- 27:10Speaker 10: Jordan Airblie scored, and you see Bobby McMahon's score.
- 27:13Speaker 6: These are your leaders of your team.
- 27:15Speaker 10: When it happened that way, you start to rally around
- 27:18Speaker 10: the fact that this team's got leaders they can go
- 27:20Speaker 10: out and put a game on their back, because if
- 27:22Speaker 10: you're going to be in the playoffs, you need leadership
- 27:25Speaker 10: like that because there going to be situations where you
- 27:26Speaker 10: are down a goal or too late in the game,
- 27:29Speaker 10: and you want that belief that you can go get
- 27:31Speaker 10: it done. And I think last night the guys proved.
- 27:33Speaker 1: That all There was a suggestion that has been made
- 27:36Speaker 1: that one of the problems with the Kraken might even
- 27:39Speaker 1: be an effort issue, and I would think for a
- 27:45Speaker 1: hockey player, that is like the worst insult that they
- 27:48Speaker 1: could possibly receive. I mean, you guys are just known
- 27:51Speaker 1: for just leaving your blood and teeth out on the
- 27:54Speaker 1: ice every game all season long. Do you think there's
- 27:58Speaker 1: anything to that number one? And if so, oh, how
- 28:00Speaker 1: much would that sting a hockey player to be accused
- 28:04Speaker 1: of not bringing it every night?
- 28:07Speaker 10: Well, first of all, it does sting from a hockey
- 28:10Speaker 10: player standpoint, because you know, you could tell you could
- 28:13Speaker 10: tell me that I don't skate well, I can get
- 28:15Speaker 10: better at that. You can tell me my shot needs
- 28:17Speaker 10: to get better. I can get better at that. But
- 28:19Speaker 10: when you tell me I'm not putting the effort in,
- 28:21Speaker 10: that's something that doesn't require skill. And that's why it
- 28:25Speaker 10: stings so much. And you know, it looked last night
- 28:29Speaker 10: in the first half of the game that that that
- 28:31Speaker 10: effort wasn't there. But something happened later in the game
- 28:35Speaker 10: where this team decided and maybe it was the Adam
- 28:38Speaker 10: Larson in the Fat thousand Games. Maybe this team decided,
- 28:41Speaker 10: let's rally for number six on the blue line and
- 28:44Speaker 10: try and get this done.
- 28:45Speaker 6: But for whatever reason, these last four games the team
- 28:48Speaker 6: has lost. They haven't gotten the first goal of the game.
- 28:51Speaker 10: That's usually an indicator of a bad start. It's not
- 28:54Speaker 10: it's not guarantee you win, but it's so important. They
- 28:57Speaker 10: haven't gotten that first goal, and a lot of times
- 28:59Speaker 10: they've come up of that first period down and whether
- 29:02Speaker 10: that's because they didn't get goaltending, whether that's effort related,
- 29:06Speaker 10: or it was just some bad bounces and there were
- 29:08Speaker 10: a lot of bad bounces in the game last night.
- 29:10Speaker 6: The effort one.
- 29:12Speaker 10: When you're criticized that way as a player, that one
- 29:14Speaker 10: of these things.
- 29:17Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think it does sting a little
- 29:19Speaker 4: bit when we get to that point in the season.
- 29:21Speaker 4: And yet, do you feel like they got enough in
- 29:24Speaker 4: the tank? I mean, the way in which they showed
- 29:26Speaker 4: the heart last night, do you feel like they got
- 29:28Speaker 4: enough in the tank to dig deep and figure this out?
- 29:31Speaker 4: The rest of this road trip is key, but they
- 29:33Speaker 4: this short. This is a sprint to the finish line
- 29:35Speaker 4: at this point.
- 29:37Speaker 10: Well, Bucky, you know they're gonna have a chance to
- 29:40Speaker 10: answer that question tomorrow night when they played the Tampa
- 29:42Speaker 10: Bay Lightning, because Tampa Bay beat them six y two
- 29:45Speaker 10: last week. He kind of played arena and this team
- 29:49Speaker 10: is rock solid top to bottom. And if you don't
- 29:51Speaker 10: bring your a game right from the start, if you
- 29:53Speaker 10: don't bring that effort. If you don't make bad mistakes,
- 29:56Speaker 10: or if you do make bad mistakes, they're going to
- 29:58Speaker 10: do the same all over again. So team's going to
- 30:00Speaker 10: get tested in that area, specifically by a very stout
- 30:04Speaker 10: Tampa Bay lighting team.
- 30:05Speaker 1: All right, al well, did you get a sunburn while
- 30:08Speaker 1: you're down there in Florida?
- 30:09Speaker 10: Yet? I am literally sitting in the shade outside of
- 30:12Speaker 10: when I'm talking to you, gentlemen, I.
- 30:14Speaker 11: Tan like milk. Oh that's not curdle, curdle. I don't tan,
- 30:25Speaker 11: I curdle.
- 30:27Speaker 1: Al Canisca quote, Well, yeah, well you do, you do well?
- 30:32Speaker 1: Then to stay in the shade, al and uh yeah,
- 30:36Speaker 1: we'll hear you tomorrow night in Tampa. How's that sound.
- 30:39Speaker 6: Sound a good plan? Boys? All right?
- 30:41Speaker 1: Areas Alconisky joining us right here on Chuck and Buck

- 36:44Speaker 2: That made my heart get all weird and fluttering.
- 36:45Speaker 1: What else does come back? Yeah, we've already figured out
- 36:49Speaker 1: the roster. We did that with Reckless and Reckless Lives back.
- 36:52Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 36:52Speaker 1: Kd's on the first roster. Gary Payton Jr. Yeah, we're
- 36:57Speaker 1: gonna have Marcus Spears kid who's a sophomore in high

- 37:03Speaker 3: Yeah that's cool.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Well, probably not SGA, but yeah, I can't wait to
- 37:07Speaker 1: see the thunder we take from them in the expansion process.
- 37:11Speaker 3: It's SGA and we both.
- 37:15Speaker 2: That's right.
- 37:16Speaker 1: I'll close with something Sonics related as well, and that's
- 37:20Speaker 1: from the expansion story today. So we know that the
- 37:23Speaker 1: Sonics are coming back SuperSonics. If the Seattle gets an
- 37:26Speaker 1: NBA franchise, I mean, you know what the team name's
- 37:30Speaker 1: going to be. Las Vegas never had one, So I
- 37:34Speaker 1: just saw this hot off the presses. These are the
- 37:37Speaker 1: front runners for the nicknames for the Las Vegas franchise.
- 37:42Speaker 1: The Mirage is the favorite, The Las Vegas sounds like it.
- 37:50Speaker 1: The Jokers, the Outlaws, the Scorpions, Venom, the Las Vegas Venom.
- 37:59Speaker 2: These are all out slutely terrible.
- 38:01Speaker 1: The Spades and Diamonds. I don't think that one's gonna work.
- 38:06Speaker 1: What the Vipers, the Bandits, the Hustlers, the Jacks, the Sidewinders.
- 38:14Speaker 1: There are other ones, so I don't know if this
- 38:17Speaker 1: is any inside information or just somebody trying to drum
- 38:21Speaker 1: up some They.
- 38:22Speaker 2: All sound like XFL and WNBA teams.
- 38:24Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't like any of it.
- 38:26Speaker 2: I don't like a single one.
- 38:27Speaker 3: Yeah, you just rattled off like fifteen and I didn't
- 38:30Speaker 3: hear one.
- 38:30Speaker 6: Good.

- 38:33Speaker 2: You call them sinners, and that would be better.
- 38:36Speaker 1: That's actually on here, sixteen to one, the Sinners. That's better,
- 38:40Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Sinners. I actually might like that one.
- 38:44Speaker 5: But yeah, there you go, because that is a really
- 38:48Speaker 5: bad list of names.
